We here at DCXX are total suckers for a good hardcore photo and Jennifer Buck Knies definitely shot her fair share. Not only was Jennifer going to a ton of great shows and shooting all the best bands of the late 80's, but she was also booking a boat load of killer shows at Wally's place in Bethlehem, PA and a few other local venues. Pretty much any band who swung through the east coast at that time was hitting Wally's place or Oliver J's and Jennifer was right there in the middle of it all. This is just a small sample of some of her photography, so expect more from Jennifer Buck Knies sooner than later. -Tim DCXX

jen and her xlehigh valley grrrrrl crewx set some some amazing shows in and around bethlehem,pa back then.btw, UC were pretty horrible by that point. one of my bands opened that show and it was pretty dissapointing.

What features do you want to see more of on the new DCXX?

Welcome to DOUBLE CROSS - an online fanzine dedicated to the hardcore we love... past, present, and future. The goal is classic fanzine vibe and content, with stories, interviews, photos and more - updated every day through the week. While this might be a "blog," we want it to go beyond what that term typically represents.

And while we are undoubtedly straight edge and will put the best straight edge bands at the heart of this site, in no way does that mean we won't be featuring all of of our other favorite hardcore bands here as well.

Check out the below links for more info on us, as well as what we have been putting up here since beginning construction in March '08. Get in touch if you wanna contribute or just say what's up.X X XTim McMahon / Gordo
